Just bought this model. Can't get it to recognize that it should connect to WiFi. Network status is locked in "wired". Also, it does not remember where DVD program left off when stop button is accidentally hit instead of pause. Starts from the beginning of the disc. Very annoying. Stop and Pause buttons are next to each other on this tiny remote. Not a good design of either the remote or the operation. Not up to my expectations for a Sony product.

Just now set the Sony Blu-ray Disc Player BDP-S1700. Cable connections to TV and AV receiver were easy and I was able to play a DVD fairly quickly. Audio and video quality are great. But remote does not control TV Volume and wireless network connection doesn't work either. Sony needs to provide better online setup help. This is the 21st century, everyone expects wireless integration.

Product is easy to set up and use, but DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS JUNK! It lasted a full three weeks!

Great player!

The eject button locks the unit out so it is not usable. A Blu Ray player that wont let you put in a disc is not a player. It is a piece of garbage. This is a product fault as this is the 2nd unit that locks up. The Sony TV is great.

I am unable figure out how to access my Netflix account via this unit. The installation process is complicated and esoteric. I can only give the following ratings because I am frustrated.

This was given to me as a gift, paperwork did not mention to use HDM2 on my TV. Just a little word of advice for those of us who are technically challenged!

As a 78 yr old learning to play guitar, I purchased this to play my instructional videos. It works perfectly and was really easy for me to set up. My grandkids love the fact that they can now watch their movies at pawpaw's house.

I bought a blu-ray DVD by mistake on line. So I needed a blu-ray player. I when to Wal-mart and bought a Sony blu-ray player. And the sun has been shining ever since...D

While the unit has only been recently installed, I am greatly impressed with its features and performance. I'm getting the impression that this particular model may soon be superceded by a newer model, but the basic design is nonetheless quite commendable. Though I have only two Blu-Ray discs at present, video performance far exceeds DVD video due to the inherent superiority of the Blu-Ray disc over that older standard. Installation was quite simple, and it integrates well with both my Sony KDL-40W600B Bravia television as well as my Harmony 650 Remote. This unit distinguishes itself over most other players with the built in web interface, which provides the "Smart TV" features of the Sony TV. It may well be that the video quality of Netflix and other applications is a bit sharper from the BDPS1700 through its HDMI connection than from the Smart TV interface of the Sony TV itself. I am still learning some of the features of this player, but so far I am very impressed, and would recommend this or any other similar Sony Blu-Ray player without hesitation.
